Remember the mage with holes in his robe that I told
you about yesterday?
Well, I bumped into him AGAIN! This time in Bree. When
he saw me and his friends I think he got scared, or
well SOMETHING must have startled him, because suddenly
he rushed away quickly, and dropped a curious looking
satchel on the ground. I think maybe my arm got caught
in his hole-cheese style robe, again...
I was like... oh no... it's just his lunch. Like yesterday.
A gazillion body parts. Yum.
But nu-uh!
It sure smelled like it. But! BUT! It was full of almost
200 potions! Of like 17 different kinds! Seventeen! I
recognized like... 3. The rest looked totally suspicious.
I doubt they are used for something good. Probably valuable
too. More than butchered body parts anyway. I mean at least
the glass in the vials could be recycled or something!
So I asked the mage if he wanted to trade them, for like
the quickwood he had stolen from me earlier. He said yes!
I was like... what?? He said yes?? That must mean he really
wants this stuff, since yesterday with the bodyparts he
totally ignored my trade offer.
Suddenly a quickwood hoopak that really was mine from the
start didnt feel like a fair trade! If it's that valuable
they'll have to give me a fair prize! Not just ONE of my
own items...
So instead I mailed the king and suggested the heads of
Fluffy and Morrisonas punishment for the death of Logg. Or,
the head of the king himself. And a quickwood and a full set
of the best armours they got for my troubles. Oh and I wanted
to vitness the beheading too. And a public apology to all
the people they have killed for whatever silly reasons
during the years.
In return I offered the satchel, not to reveal anything
about the potions or their ingredients, and not bother them
more ever again!
I thought it was a fair offer! Death of two murderers, and
a little extra as compensation.
But no! No no no. The retun offer was instead MY own head,
AND the satchel, and nothing from them! I mean! Thats no
negotiation! I told them it was my STARTING offer and I was
sure we could find some middle ground! But they dont even
wanna try.
So now what do I do?? You all wanna know about the potions,
their names, and ingredients??
Hmmm... I think I am gonna give the mages some time to
reconsider their proposal! I mean it's no fun to reveal
like EVERYTHING about them. This whole mission is almost
too easy so far! So... I'll keep that to myself a little
while. See if the mages offer me a fair deal!
Stay tuned!
